Mother Teresa

Top 10 Best Quotes

“Joy is the net of love by which we can capture souls. God loves the person who gives with joy. Whoever gives with joy gives more. The best way to show our gratitude to God and to people is to accept with joy.”

“Let Him empty and transform you ;and afterwards fill the chalice of your hearts to the brim, that you in your turn, may give of your abundance. Seek Him. Knowledge will make you strong as death. Love Him trustfully without looking back, without fear. Believe that Jesus and Jesus alone is life. Serve Jesus, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles or worries you, make loved the love that is not loved.”

“We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so; God is there.”

“The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in your way is a sign that God wants you to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God.”

“The poor are God’s gift; they are our love. Christ will not ask how much we did but how much love we put into what we did.”

“One cannot expect to become a saint without paying the price, and the price is much renunciation, much temptation, much struggle and persecution, and all sorts of sacrifices. One cannot love God except at the cost of oneself.”

“Never let anyone come to you without coming away better and happier. Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile.”

“Make every effort to walk in the presence of God, to see God in everyone you meet, and to live your morning meditation throughout the day. In the streets in particular, radiate the joy of belonging to God, of living with Him and being His. For this reason, in the streets, in the shelters, in your work, you should always be praying with all your heart and all your soul. Maintain the silence that Jesus maintained for thirty years at Nazareth, and that He still maintains in the tabernacle, interceding for us. Pray like the Virgin Mary, who kept all things in her heart through prayer and meditation, and still does, as mediatrix of all graces.”

“Love is a fruit always in season, and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love.”

“Love has a hem to her garment that reaches the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.”
